BENEFITS SUSPECTED ROBBERS.
City Marshal whitney, Of Bangor
Makes Discovery.
rspecial TO the Press. /


BANGOR, Dec. 10.--City Marshal Whitney
and Sheriff Brown arrived at PenobscOt Jail
this evening with the two men arrested in
Pennington for the robbery of old Peter
Bennett of Plymouth. There is considera-
BILE excitement in the city, especially since
the announcement of the remarkable fact
that one of the men is the nephew of City
Marshal Whitney, and is well known here.
His father is Parson John Whitney, of New
port, well-known and highly-respected
clergyman Of this county. The young man,
however, has been a wandering boy. A
short time ago'he came to Bangor and lived
at the Windsor Hotel, where he astonished
the guests with his jewelry, and his clothes
and the expensives wines which he drank
The other man. Dougherty, is resident of
Bangor. Evans, the third man, who is sup
posed to have gotten away with most of the
money, is yet in parts unknown.
The officers declare that there is ample
evidence to convict the men.
Deepening Suspicious.
BANGOR, Dec. 1.-THE arrest of two men
believed to be connected with the Plymouth
robbery and their Imprisonment in the Jail
here last night has been one of the topics of
conversation here today, and the belief
strengthens that the right men have been
captured While nothing new of direct
nature, beyond what has been telegraphed.
has transpired, some things have been de-
veloped that may prove important Young
Patten and wife, of Plymouth, who were in
the house at the time of the robbery, were
brought here today, and Mrs. Patten is posi-
tive that the younger of two men, who now
gives his name as James Foster, is the man
she saw in her grandfather's room the day
the latter was in Bangor. She says the man
was apparently scanning the room and TAX
ing in its contents and surroundings. He
answers also the description she gave Of
him before the arrest.
The Whig learns that Foster, as he calls
himself, belongs in New York. He says he
was never in the State before. Examination
is set down for Tuesday but it is not yet
known what line the defence will pursue
whether they will waive examination or
make fight before the Municipal Court.
Foster is one Of the soft-handed gentry and

EFFECTS OF DROUGHT.

How Fruit and Forest Trees Arc Affected
by Protracted Dry Weather.
The effect of drought on our quick
growing field crops is readily seen and
keenly appreciated, but the effect on
fruit and other trees is not SO easily
noticed or SO quickly felt by the
owners. Drought usually affects field
crops only one year, but often under
mines the constitution of the tree. No
effects may be shown until one or more
years later, aud then the trouble is at
tributed to the severe winters. Trees
t:at have been poorly supplied with
moisture through the summer become
weakened, and are much more easily
inquired by severe weather in winter
1t is also claimed that the lcsscned
vitality of the leaves in time of
drought makes them more subject to
trusts and other fungous diseases.
blight, sun-scald, etc. Drought
sometimes makes the growth
uneven, and often causes . second
growth to be made during vet fall
months. In this case the drought
causes the tree to become more or less
inactive-in, other words to rest When
fall rains come on. new leaf growth
takes place. the cambium layer prepares
to develop wood and bark, and the tree
acts somewhat as if it had started out
ON a new summers growth. There is
not time for the new succulent cells to
mature before frost comes, and the
cola Of the winter destroys them and
starts the tree toward premature death.
Drought in the late fall seems to do
less damage. because it only hastens
the ripening up of the wood for
winter. Some trees withstand
drought in our climate much bet
ter than Others, because the;
root deeper. Trees that are native to
this or similar climate. stand drought
better than trees from moist climate.
for three reasons: They send their
roots deep; their leaves are so con-
structed that they resist dry. hot air;
and the bark resist great sun heat.
